Une approche multidimensionnelle et expérientielle
La prosodie contribue à la construction du sens du discours. Cependant, pour le français parlé, peu de recherches ont montré comment la prosodie participe à l’interprétation du discours et à son appréhension comme expérience vécue. Cet ouvrage s’attache à décrire les différents sous-systèmes de la prosodie du français (accentuation, intonation, rythme). La structuration prosodique des énoncés est mise en relation avec différents niveaux de l’organisation du discours, depuis les unités textuelles minimales jusqu’aux interventions complexes. Le rôle de la prosodie pour indiquer le statut informationnel de certains constituants (focus, topique) ou les relations entre les unités discursives est ainsi analysé. Les données orales traitées sont fournies sous forme sonore et transcrite, dans une base de données accessible sur Internet.
„Das Reyßbuch deß heyligen Lands,“ published in Frankfurt am Main in 1584 by Sigmund Feyerabend, features texts from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries, including sixteen pilgrimage reports, Robert of Reim’s history of the First Crusade, and a German translation of a Latin pilgrimage guide. Some texts are published for the first time, while others, like Mandeville’s Travels, have a rich manuscript and printing history. The contributors include nobles, churchmen, merchants, a doctor, and an artisan. This collection is notable as the first primarily German travel literature, rather than translations, and the only compendium of pilgrimage reports, emerging at a time when the Reformation diminished pilgrimage interest.
The study is divided into two parts. The first examines the Reyßbuch as a publisher's product, exploring its printing history, sources, adaptation methods, Feyerabend's intentions, and reader manipulation techniques. It also reviews the three subsequent editions and their content changes. The second part analyzes pilgrimage reports as literary works, discussing their structure, language use, genre identity, and their role as precursors to popular prose fiction. It contrasts pre- and post-Reformation accounts and considers the late publication's context, particularly the Turkish threat to Europe. Throughout, the Reyßbuch is situated within a broader socio-political, devotional, and literary framework, reflectin
Focusing on the cult of Saint Katherine of Alexandria in medieval Germany, this book explores her significant yet often overlooked role, particularly in Nuremberg. It examines the multifaceted expressions of her cult through literature, art, and devotional practices, as well as the influence of Patrician patronage and political strategy. By analyzing these interactions, the author reveals how they contributed to shaping both Patrician and civic identities, filling crucial gaps in our understanding of her impact during this period.
Could an alien organism really survive a centuries-long trip on a meteor and remain virulent enough to attack a human being? How would a scientist know she was peering at a microbe from another planet? What's the possibility of a genetically mutated monster actually developing? In a gripping exploration of the facts behind the science fiction that has enthralled millions of X-philes, Anne Simon -- the respected virologist who comes up with the science for many intriguing episodes -- discusses telomeres, cloning, the Hayflick limit, nanotechnology, endosymbionts, lentiviruses, and other strange phenomena that have challenged the intellect and threatened the lives and sanity of America's favorite FBI agents. With Simon's extraordinary gift for explaining complicated, cutting-edge science in a light, accessible style, and her behind-the-scenes commentary on the development of various plot lines, The Real Science Behind the X-Files will appeal to science buffs and X-Files aficionados alike.
As a boy Sigmund Freud dreamed of being an explorer, of discovering new lands and sailing the oceans. As an adult he set out to map a far stranger territory: the human mind.This stunning graphic novel by economist, historian, and psychoanalyst Corrine Maier explores the life and work of one of the twentieth century’s most influential thinkers.

Her books are bestsellers in France and have been translated into many languages.Her recent writings have centered on work, family, and the nation. Hailed as a counter-culture heroine by the New York Times, she proudly embraces her independence from any club, scientific society, or political party and celebrates her absence from anyone’s payroll.
Boris, the round-headed child, reigns like a despot in the little house he lives in with his mother. His mother, Bulle, formerly known as Aglaia, was once the all-powerful queen of the country Marylene. Since Marylene's fall, residents have lived in peace thanks to a self-governing system they have adopted. But when Boris meets Sabine, a warrior French fry thirsty for revenge, nothing will ever be the same ...The final book in Anne Simon's "Tales of Marylene '' graphic novel trilogy (after The Song of Aglaia and Empress Cixtisis), Boris the Potato Child delivers a bitter critique of our consumerist impulses and abuses. Mixing literature and pop culture (such as mashing Simone de Beauvoir with the Beatles), Simon has created in Marylene a world as abundant in visual imagination as Oz or Narnia, but crafted with a Swiftian pen that's mightier than any man's sword.
Cixtisis, the empress of Tchitchinie, kidnaps all of the men from Agalaia’s kingdom to castrate them and make them her slaves. Anger grows amongst the female residents of Suffragette City―they want their husbands back. Will Aglaia be able to avert war and bring peace once again to the region? Anne Simon showcases a deft touch in this allegorical fantasy graphic novel brimming with subversive twists and comical turns.
